otherwise i forget

we went camping y'know...
up in Redwing MN
it was Fantastic.
We got there a tad late, but no worries
we're pros at setting up tents by now

after all this and that
with a good fire going
and a few bruski's open
the moon was full and bright

we couldn't have asked for much more.
so to sleep we went.

In the morning
Mickey and myself caught some breakfast
while sitting there, whaddya know
the good 'ole weather.com that said
there was a weekend chance of rain at 30%.......
was 70% wrong.
As we enjoyed our eggs and whatnot
we sat, with the rain fly for the tent in the car rather than the tent,
hoping that it would just be a 5 minute passing

no worries. We got a hold of Nate
who transferred our goods into his tent
until we returned to fix things up.




Then it kept raining

and ...kept raining

but Nate and i decided to tough it out
there was a point when I said
"you know, this is stupid, right?"
He agreed...
we got rained out from mt. biking
but rode back to camp...it was enjoyable
or...as enjoyable as it can be in 45 degrees
pounding rain, and 25mph wind....

Don't worry
by the afternoon, after showering
and going back into town to wander and waste time...

we found the Mississippi river
and really...just....enjoyed being Away.
It was great
aaand Mickey apparently was telling Nate that...
"i was sittin there thinkin, and...and over there is Wisconsin!"


It really was a beautiful trip.
Despite not getting a chance to...ride much...
I still got some good video shots, and....
lets face it, some GREAT stories.

Thanks to all who went/came
You really made it what it was. :)
